Happiness is brief. It will not stay. God batters at its sails.
Friendship doubles your joys, and divides your sorrows.
Song brings of itself a cheerfulness that wakes the heart of joy.
There is no harbor of peace from the changing waves of joy and despair.
Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.
Few have greater riches than the joy That comes to us in visions, In dreams which nobody can take away.
Prepare yourselves for the roaring voice of the God of Joy!
Short is the joy that guilty pleasure brings.
